Candidate airs climate change doubts

Another candidate has entered the race for the South Australian seat of Barker in this month's federal election.

Millicent man Steven Davies is representing the Climate Sceptics Party and says he will be pushing for more research into the causes of climate change.

He says people are not responsible for the changing climate and the introduction of a carbon tax will put many primary producers out of business.

"We're already suffering from high taxes, high operating costs, low commodity prices, if we start to introduce things like carbon taxes, an emissions trading scheme, it's going to be unsustainable, simply madness particularly in the light of the fact that we don't consider that man-made climate change is a truism," he said.

It's a fundamental human yearning to be a part of something bigger than one's self, and maybe that's what drove my mate Ash to die, far from home, in a bloody foreign war against Islamic State, writes C August Elliott.
